Amazing SUV with awesome technology and safety

The Volvo XC 60 T6 Platinum is truly an amazing vehicle. We have decided to get something bigger for our growing family. The technology in the car is amazing and the safety ratings are superior in the SUV market. The car was bought and serviced locally. Would definitely own another Volvo in the future.

My Volvo XC60

I got a great deal on the price of this car from the dealer because it was a demo vehicle. So far after almost 3 years I am very happy with the style, how it drives, gas mileage and it’s comfort. I drove this vehicle from NY to Florida pulling a trailer with ease and confidence.

Best most reliable car I have owned

Recent trip to Pa. 3100 miles 119 gals gas,26 mpg highway and 2 lane mountain. This car handled back mountain roads like dream even in downpour. I gave it a 4star on interior design because it could use more leg room in second row seating.

Extremely powerful Crossover

Super & Turbocharged engine gives this car a high thrust to weight ratio! Lots of safety features. Very comfortable and looks great. A bit pricey. Overall reliability is good but bells and whistles sometimes need adjusting, all under warranty though.

a comfortable and classic looking car

This car met all our needs at the time, even now we have a baby, it doesn't seem small for 3 of us. My wife loves the "heavy" body, but it accelerates really very well, and the handling is good. The stereo was good. It is a fun car to drive, even 6 hours doesn't make me feel tired. The interior is not as mordern as the new xc60, however, we could not wait and was in need of car and looked better than most of other cars we test drove, i.e. audi q5, benz glk, acura mdx. The exterior is very classic, not as cute as audi q5, but looks pretty good. Security features like blind spot detection was very helpful and the sensor would alarm when someone/car crosses when it is in rear gear. Its handling was not as good as audi and bmw, but was better than the others.(from my wife's opinion, I could not tell much of a difference on handling between different cars ). The seats are very comfortable. The steering wheel and gas pedal is not light, which my wife loves. Cons: it doesn't have as much storage space as Japanese cars like Lexus r350, and I am not sure the reason why the 2nd row seat could not tilt, audi q5 could do that. And for the year we purchased, it did not support apple play, which you can drop your google navigation on to the screen.

Safest Car Made

Chose the XC60 for the safety and reputation of the Volvo. It?s our 2nd and we haven?t been disappointed yet! It rides like a luxury car but can haul anything and is especially great for our golden retriever!

Happy with our Fourth Volvo

This XC60 T5 was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is exceptional and it handles great. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology!
